Mom's Tamale Pie image

I don't believe my mom ever used a recipe for her tamale pie, but I came up with this version that tastes very much like the one she used to make. It's been popular at our church gatherings and faculty luncheons...and my kids love it! -Waldine Guillott, DeQuincy, Louisiana

I was really excited to try this tamale pie, but I was disappointed. The cornbread topping was dry and the filling was bland. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong.

This tamale pie was delicious! I made it for my family and they loved it. The cornbread topping was so good and the filling was flavorful and moist. I will definitely be making this again.

I've made this tamale pie several times and it's always a crowd-pleaser. It's easy to make and the leftovers are even better the next day. I like to add a layer of black beans to the filling for extra protein.

This tamale pie was a hit with my family! The cornbread topping was perfectly crispy and the filling was flavorful and moist. I added a little extra chili powder to give it a bit of a kick, and it was delicious. I will definitely be making this again
